I’m beta-testing a website called BabySpot, that will give new parents a fun, safe way to share information about their baby with family and friends. It takes just a minute to register on the site, and once it fully launches on June 1st, 2008, the features will include:

• Create and share photos using fun editing tools
• Create and share videos
• Publish a blog/journal
• Invite friends and family to view private information

I can’t say yet what additional features will be available, but I do know that you will be able to do even more once the site is out of beta on June 1st. Right now, you can join the site for free, then on the My Account tab, fill in your baby’s name, birthdate, height and weight, hair and eye color, and upload a photo. You can also choose a Theme, which is the pattern that appears on your profile page. The Status bar lets you fill in what your child is doing at that moment. At the bottom of the page are boxes to check for making the information public or private.

It’s easy to upload photos, and there is a tool available by clicking the “Help” icon that takes you to Slide, a site that lets you create a slideshow of your pictures. If you’ve been looking for social networking that is just for parents like you, BabySpot is the place you want to be!

Even though my youngest is 2 and a half, I’m still excited about BabySpot. I’ve created a profile for Kaitlyn, uploaded some recent photos of her, and written a short blog post, and it was very easy. It’s like starting a new blog just for info about Kaitlyn, but without having to actually, you know, start a new blog! LOL If you’d like to see what I have so far, this is my URL for the site-
http://www.babyspot.com/uprofile.php?UID=502. To find your URL, go to My Account, and then click the icon of the envelope with the arrow, you will see your URL there.

If you know someone who is due to give birth soon or has just had a baby, let them know about BabySpot. And for more information about the site and it’s creators, visit the About Us page, too. I can’t wait to see what else is going to be available on the site after June 1st!
